Here are a few more details pulled from the official FIFA 22 Dual Entitlement blog.

Does my progress in FIFA 22 carry over from PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5, or Xbox One to Xbox Series X|S?

All progress you make or content you acquire within FIFA 22 Ultimate Team (including players, items, coins, FIFA Points, match record, and leaderboard placement), as well as all progression in VOLTA FOOTBALL will transfer from PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5 and back, or Xbox One to Xbox Series X|S and back. Progress within all other modes including Online Seasons, Co-Op Seasons, Career Mode, Pro Clubs, etc. will be specific to the console you are playing on and won’t transfer between consoles.

Progression in all other modes will not transfer and stays specific to the specific console version of FIFA 22 that you are playing on.

Will my progress transfer if I go from PlayStation 4 to Xbox Series X|S, or Xbox One to PlayStation 5?

No, your progress in VOLTA FOOTBALL and FIFA 22 Ultimate Team will only transfer from PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5, or Xbox One to Xbox Series X|S.

Will PlayStation 5 players be able to match up and play against PlayStation 4 players? What about Xbox Series X|S players with Xbox One?

You will be able to match up with and against other players based on the version of FIFA 22 that you are playing.

If you are playing the PlayStation 4 version of FIFA 22 you will be able to match up and play with and against other players who are playing on the same version of FIFA 22, regardless of whether they are playing on PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5. The same is true for the Xbox One version of FIFA 22, where you will be able to match up and play with and against other players who are playing the same version on Xbox One or Xbox Series X|S.

If you are playing the PlayStation 5 version of FIFA 22, you will only be able to match up with and play against other players who are playing the PlayStation 5 version. The same is true for the Xbox Series X|S version of FIFA 22, where only players on Xbox Series X|S will be able to play each other.

FIFA 22 early access arrives for EA Play subscribers on September 22.
